I would like to begin with a little bit about our history of inshore fishing for bluefin tuna. We first started fishing for bluefin out of Lewes, DE and Ocean City, MD over 20 years ago. We usually began fishing for bluefin in late June or early July, chunking with butterfish in the famous Jack Spot area along with what seemed like the whole Ocean City fleet. We rarely trolled because we found trolling with artificial lures such as feathers or cedar plugs produced mostly small, football -sized bluefin, while chunking produced fish in the 50- to 80-pound range.
During this time, we began experimenting to see if we could find any bluefin around the unnamed lumps that are on most charts to the north of the Jack Spot.
